The Economic Base of Rio Arriba County, NM PREPARED BY: The Office of Policy Analysis at Arrowhead Center, New Mexico State University DATE: July 2017
The Economic Base of Rio Arriba County, New Mexico Introduction This report is one of 35 economic base studies prepared by the Office of Policy Analysis at New Mexico State University s (NMSU) Arrowhead Center. Of the 35 reports, 33 describe the economic base of New Mexico s counties. There are separate reports for the State of New Mexico and for the Albuquerque Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). New Mexico has three additional MSAs (Las Cruces, Santa Fe, and Farmington) all of which are single county MSAs; separate reports for these MSAs were not prepared. All 35 reports may be found at http://arrowheadcenter.nmsu.edu/economic-and-policystudies/. The reports have been prepared under the direction of James Peach, Director of the Office of Policy Analysis. Leonardo Delgado and Noel Martinez, graduate students in the NMSU Doctorate in Economic Development program, did much of the work on the updates. Comments and suggestions are welcome and are to be sent to jpeach@nmsu.edu. Our intent is to update these reports on an annual basis. An economic base study is a descriptive tool used to analyze the composition of the local economic activity. Economic base studies are often conducted to help guide local economic development activities and to help economic development officials make decisions such as what type of firms they should attempt to attract to local areas. Economic base studies can also assist local and regional businesses to better understand local and export product markets. The specific purposes of economic base studies include: Understand regional economic growth Make short and long term forecasts Identify potential growth sectors Identify potential problem areas According to economic base theory, any local economy may be divided into basic and non-basic industries. The economic base theory also suggests that economic growth depends on sectors that export goods and services out of the region (basic industries), as opposed to those businesses whose services remain local (non-basic industries). Basic industries promote local economic growth by bringing jobs and income into the local economy. Non-basic industries serve local residents and provide support to basic industries. An industry classified as basic in one region may be identified as non-basic in another region. One common means of identifying local basic activity is through the use of location quotients (LQs). LQs 1
are calculated as a single industry s percent of total local employment divided by that industry s percent of total state or national employment. For example, an LQ for a single New Mexico industry (industry j) may be calculated as follows: (Employment in industry j in NM / total employment in NM) LQ = (Employment in industry j in US / total employment in US) The LQ serves to illustrate the relative importance in the level of the local employment of that sector with respect to the benchmark economy, as the state or national economy. A LQ greater than 1.0 indicates that a particular industry employs proportionately more workers locally than it does at the state or national level. Conversely, an LQ of less than 1.0 indicates that the industry of note employs fewer workers locally as compared to the state or national average. For additional information on LQs, see http://arrowheadcenter.nmsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/whatisalocationquotient.pdf. In this report, LQs are calculated and analyzed for the industries within Rio Arriba County with national employment as the basis for comparison (see Table 1). Additionally, LQs using employment for the state of New Mexico as the benchmark are included (see Table 2). For the purposes of this report, basic industries are identified using general knowledge about the structure of the local economy combined with LQs greater than 1.0. LQs are described for the most recent year which data are available and the four years preceding (2011-2015). The economic data used in this report are from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) which can be found at www.bea.gov. Rio Arriba County, New Mexico Rio Arriba County is located in northwestern New Mexico and contains 5,860.84 square miles, or 4.83 percent of the land area in New Mexico. The population of Rio Arriba County in 2015 was 39,465, or 1.9 percent of the state total, ranking 13 th in New Mexico in terms of population. Between 2011 and 2015, the population of Rio Arriba County decreased by 2.13 percent. The Town of Española, with a population of 10,047 in 2015 represented 25.46 percent of the population of Rio Arriba County. During the same period, New Mexico s population increased by.33 percent and the United States population increased by 3.11 percent. 2
Per capita personal income in Rio Arriba County was $32,254 and ranked 26 th in the state in terms of per capita income in 2015. Per capita income for Rio Arriba County in 2015 was 85.0 percent of the corresponding state figure ($37,938) and 67.0 percent of the national average ($48,112) (See Figures 1 and 2). The percent growth of per capita income in Rio Arriba County between 2011 and 2015 was 5.64 percent, which was less than the state s (9.24) and nation s (13.33) growth rate for the same period Total employment in Rio Arriba County was 15,553 in 2015. Between 2011 and 2015, total employment in Rio Arriba County decreased by 2.56 percent, while the state s total employment increased by 2.88 percent and the nation s employment increased by 7.89 percent for the same period. The Rio Arriba County employment to population ratio was 0.40 in 2015, compared to the state ratio (0.53) and the nation s ratio (0.59). This ratio represents a low rate of the population being employed in the county. In 2015, 56.92 percent of Rio Arriba County was employed in the Private sector, while 31.04 percent were employed in Government and government enterprises, and 12.04 percent worked in Farm employment. The industries with the highest percentages of total employment included: Health care 3
and social assistance (11.46 percent), Retail trade (9.37), and Accommodation and food services (6.73). Within the public sector, Local government was the largest employer with 23.86 percent of total employment; State employment accounted for 4.63 percent, Federal / civilian accounted for 1.92 percent and Military for 0.64 percent. Employment for Rio Arriba County by sector is displayed in Table 3. Basic and Non-Basic Industries in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico Table 1 contains LQs for Rio Arriba County from 2011 to 2015 calculated using data for the United States as the basis of comparison. Table 2 contains LQs for Rio Arriba County from 2011 to 2015 calculated with respect to the state of New Mexico. For the purposes of this report, an LQ greater than 1.0 with respect to the U.S. employment is considered as a basic industry. The sectors with an LQ greater than 1.0 have been shaded. The importance of the Agricultural sector, here defined as Farm employment and Forestry, fishing, and related activities is reflected in the high LQs for both of these industries. Farm employment had an LQ of 8.67, with LQs greater than 7.61 for all years considered; Forestry, fishing, and related activities had an LQ of 2.02 in 2015 and LQs greater than 1.69 for all years considered. The Agricultural sector for Rio Arriba (Farm employment and Forestry, fishing, and related activities), is considered a basic sector. Arts, entertainment, and recreation is also considered as a basic economic activity in Rio Arriba County. This sector had an LQ of 1.10 in 2015 and LQs exceeding 1.06 in all years considered, reflecting the substantial artist community in and around Española. Additionally, Rio Arriba County is home to Heron Lake State Park, Vado Lake State Park, and numerous attractions in and around Chama including the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. Because these attract tourists from nearby Santa Fe and Taos counties, the Arts, entertainment, and recreation industry is considered a basic economic sector for this analysis. Health care and social assistance had an LQ of 1.02 in 2015, as well as LQs in between.98 and 1.06 in all years considered. These LQs reflect the employment base of Rio Arriba s two medical centers, Los Alamos Medical Center and Española Hospital, both located in Española. Though the Health care and social assistance industry is often categorized as a non-basic industry, considering these hospitals importance in serving several neighboring counties, this sector is considered as part of the basic economic base of Rio Arriba County. Mining in the past was considered as a basic economic activity in Rio Arriba County. The Mining sector had an LQ of.62 in 2015, however, in previous years, the LQs fluctuated between.79 and 1.10. 4
The Mining sector includes pumice mining, especially in the Guaje Canyon Mine and the El Cajete Mine, both located in the Jemez Mountains, southwest of Española. Because the LQ for mining has decreased in the for two years well below the 1.0, it is not a basic industry this year. The other sector with a LQ above 1.0 in 2015 included Utilities (2.29). Nevertheless, this industry in Rio Arriba County is to be considered as non-basic or a support industry. The entry labeled Government and government enterprises is the aggregate figure of all government levels listed as government categories. All government sectors, with the exception of Military employment, had LQs greater than 1.0 in 2015. State government had an LQ of 1.66 in 2015 and LQs greater than 1.66 in all years considered. State government reflects the employment base of the District Eleven New Mexico State Police and the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Office, both located in Española. Federal civilian employment had an LQ of 1.30 and LQs exceeding 1.30 in all years considered. This industry reflects the employment base of the East Rio Arriba Soil and Water Conservation District Office and the U.S. Rural Development Office, as well as Bandelier National Monument. For this analysis, Federal civilian and State government employment are considered as basic economic activities. Local government had an LQ of 3.22 in 2015. However, local government is generally categorized as non-basic given that all local governments collect taxes from residents to provide for the services to the community, including employment. Following this practice, local government for Rio Arriba County will be considered as a non-basic industry. The data and analysis suggest that in 2015 the following industries should be considered basic industries in Rio Arriba County: 1. The Agricultural sector, including Farm employment (1,917) and Forestry, fishing, and related industries (163), accounted for 2,080 total jobs. 2. Arts, entertainment, and recreation, accounted for 388 jobs. 3. Health care and social assistance, accounted for 1,824 jobs. 4. State government employment, accounted for 737 jobs. 5. Federal civilian employment, accounted for 305 jobs. It is common in economic base studies to calculate what is known as an export-base multiplier. This multiplier is obtained by dividing total employment by basic sector employment. In the case of Rio Arriba County, the multiplier is equal to 2.98 (15,920/ 5,334). This ratio suggests that the addition of each basic sector job in Rio Arriba County would be associated with an additional 2.98 non-basic sector jobs. The export base multiplier (2.98) calculated above reinforces the importance of basic (exporting) industries to the economy of Rio Arriba County. In general terms, this employment multiplier is not to 5
be compared to employment multipliers included in economic impact analysis tools including RIMS, REMI, and IMPLAN. In the case of Rio Arriba County, potential double counting occupation may result in an upward bias of the multiplier given that farm proprietors often have more than one occupation. Local economic development policy actions such as the creation of industrial parks, tax abatement and financing, and workforce development projects are often used by local communities to expand an area s economic base. The development of a community economic development plan is to include the appropriate combination of policies, which often result from public and private sector interaction.
